The movie is based on the same formula as American Beauty, but works in higher gear: most characters are obnoxious, detestable ; the story hardly makes any sense; we have violence, drugs, homosexuality, extremely morbid dialogues. The »deepest part« is the execution of an innocent man and splattered brains. This Irish movie also turns around the well known paedophilia in the Roman Catholic Church, presenting it in the most brutal way.
It is interesting to look at the highly rated reviews: the titles often sound as advertisements. Calvary has not reached the rating of American Beauty though; the extra effort in nastiness did not pay off.
If you are a normal man or woman, this movie will most probably ruin your day.
I really do not understand the participating actors, who used their talent to make little bits and pieces more believable. Have they not read the whole script?
Seriously, if you want to watch a good, touching film about child victims of sexual violence, see the South African movie Little One.
